There is nothing more I know that you don't already know. But I will still blog about my experience so others can learn from it.
Documents required:
- Employment certificates
- Diplomas
- Transcripts
See? Nothing more than what you already know.
But here are some tips:
- These documents should be attested/notarised.
- Your employment certificates should contain your period of employment, position, salary, whether it is full time or part time, and roles and responsibilities.
- Your employment certificates should be printed in a company letterhead - this is important if your certificate comes in more than one page.
- In the absence of the job descriptions because HR thinks you don't need them because a generic format template is already available since time immemorial, you may want to secure a Statutory Declaration from your manager or colleague of higher position than yours.
- The Statutory Declaration should contain Sworn Before, Signed Before or Witnessed Before signed by the authorised witness (the notary public), with the date and place in which the declaration was made and witnessed.
Note: If it helps to get you an employment certificate with roles and responsibilities, you may want to mention to your HR that you are planning to pursue a higher degree and the university requires a detailed certificate to help them assess which course fits best with your experience.
Why these tips? I wasted some more $$$ for appeal/review because I missed out some points I mentioned above. This serves as warning to you.
- New application: A$500.00
- Review/Appeal application: A$395.00
I could have saved A$395 have someone told me about these or if I have researched more about it and cross check from someone else's experience.
Now you can't say someone didn't tell you. 😉😉😉
